○ In light of the recent rise in local transmissions in the Seoul Metropolitan Region, KCDC urged people in the capital region to refrain from social gathering or visiting any enclosed/confined/crowded spaces that are frequented by many people.
- People who cannot avoid visiting an enclosed/crowded space for an essential reason should carefully follow personal hygiene measures including keeping 2 meters of distance from other people, wearing a facemask, avoiding handshakes, washing hands, and not touching eyes, nose, or mouth with their hands.
- Persons belonging to high-risk groups (including elderly, pregnant women, persons with chronic illness) should especially avoid any poorly ventilated enclosed space frequented by many people. If such a situation cannot be avoided for an essential reason, it is highly important to wear a facemask.
○ Anyone who has come in close contact with a large number of unspecified persons in an enclosed/confined space such as clubs or bars need to be tested at a screening clinic through public health center or 1339 call center.
- KCDC urged people to visit a screening clinic and get tested especially if two or more persons within a household or social group develop COVID-19 suspected symptoms.
“5 Basic Infection Prevention Rules for Everyone” (1) Stay home for 3-4 days if you get sick. (2) Keep a distance of two arms’ length between you and other people. (3) Wash your hands for 30 seconds. Cough/sneeze into your sleeve. (4) Ventilate your space at least twice a day and disinfect regularly. (5) Keep in touch with family and friends while maintaining physical distancing. |
